I had the same idea, only a bit different. I love the stuff.

Racer,
Did you spray the tips while on the car? How much did you have to tape off?

Looking to do my tips this weekend, looking for any tips you can give on doing it...

I've been thinking of painting the inside of my wheel barrels red. Both cars look great

Pretty much. Gotta use some adhesive remover. Took me about 10 minutes each.

Nice work, but just remove the GM badges. That was the first thing I did to my C6.

Been on over a year, 750 hp, still looks brand new! I would say it holds up to the heat fine.

Pretty impresive stuff to be able to stand up to that kind of heat. I may do mine. They really look good.
